All-States Medical Supply’s Fletcher staff is more than doubling in size in the next two months to meet the demands of a recently awarded Medicare contract, according to an All-States news release.

Medicare just released their list of only eighteen contract suppliers who won the bids for the national mail-order program for diabetes supplies. These will be the only companies allowed to provide supplies to the six million plus people with Diabetes on Medicare.

Two years ago, All-States Medical Supply was approved to provide supplies to nine areas nationwide, so this expanded territory means the company needs to grow quickly to be ready for the demand when the new contract goes into effect on July 1.

“In 2011, we learned how to handle an increase in call volume when we won the initial nine area contract,” said Marcus Suess, president and owner of All-States Medical Supply. “Because our company’s name starts with an ‘A’, we are at the top of the provider list and expect an even higher call volume than most.”

All of this increase in demand means the company plans to go from 40 employees to 90 in the next two months. Open positions are primarily for customer care representatives and medical records, but will also include a few positions in billing and shipping departments. All positions are permanent 40 hours a week, Monday through Friday, with most starting salaries at $10.50 an hour. Candidates with previous customer service experience are preferred.

JobLink at Blue Ridge Community College is assisting with the hiring process and will be accepting resumes for All-States Medical Supply by fax at 828-694-1698, email at danh@blueridge.edu or in person (preferred method) at JobLink at Blue Ridge Community College at 180 West Campus Dr. in Flat Rock.
